Abstract:		 In October 2007, Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological evaluation of land adjacent to St Mary''s Church, Houghton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2812 7209). The investigation was commissioned in advane of works to construct a new meeting room, vestry and welfare facilities adjacent to the north wall of the church (Planning ref. H/07/01411/FUL). Evidence of prehistoric activity from as early as the Palaeolithic period has been recovered from the Ouse gravels in Houghton. Neolithic finds are particularly numerous, and include several flint tools found close to the development site. Roman settlement in Houghton has also been recorded, with many domestic finds indicating a rural settlement of moderate status. Houghton is recorded as having a church at the time of the Domesday survey, which may have been located in approximately the same position as the extant 13th century church of St Mary''s. Early medieval pottery has been found close to the site, suggesting that it was in the core of the medieval village. The site itself lies within St Mary''s churchyard, adjoining the north side of the church building. The remains of six articulated skeletons were present within the trial trench; these remained unexcavated. Each burial was aligned east to west (with the head to the west). Burial 2 cut Burial 3. Individual grave cuts could not be determined, and the fills were identical and could not be distinguished. Disturbed human bone was located throughout subsoil layers L1002 and L1001. A modern soakaway (F1010) was located in the eastern 2.20m of the trench.
